The effect of the corrugation inclination angle on the thermohydraulic performance of plate heat exchangers
TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that at angles up to about 80°, the fluid flows mainly along the furrows on each plate and a secondary, swirling motion is imposed on the flow along a furrow when its path is crossed by streams flowing along furrows along the opposite wall.

Analytical and experimental investigation on the operational characteristics and the thermal optimization of a miniature heat pipe with a grooved wick structure
TL;DR: In this paper, a mathematical model for heat and mass transfer in a miniature heat pipe with a grooved wick structure is developed and solved analytically to yield the maximum heat transport rate and the overall thermal resistance under steady-state conditions.

Generalized correlations for predicting heat transfer and pressure drop in plate heat exchanger channels of arbitrary geometry
TL;DR: In this paper, the flow characteristics of the flow in chevron plate heat exchangers were investigated through visualization tests of channels with beta = 28 degrees and beta = 61 degrees.

Optimisation of a desiccant cooling system design with indirect evaporative cooler
Mark Goldsworthy,Stephen White +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the performance of a combined solid desiccant-indirect evaporative cooler system is analyzed by solving the heat and mass transfer equations for both components simultaneously. But the authors focus on varying the descant wheel supply/regeneration and indirect cooler secondary/primary air-flow ratios.

Numerical methods for solving linear least squares problems
TL;DR: This paper considers stable numerical methods for handling linear least squares problems that frequently involve large quantities of data, and they are ill-conditioned by their very nature.
Laminar Flow Forced Convection Heat Transfer and Flow Friction in Straight and Curved Ducts - A Summary of Analytical Solutions
Ramesh K. Shah,A. L. London +1 more
TL;DR: Theoretical laminar flow solutions for heat transfer and flow friction are of importance in the development of compact heat exchangers as discussed by the authors, generally the higher the degree of compactness, the lower is the Reynolds number and the greater is the relevance of the theory solutions.
